Captcha: self explanatory, except its like a puzzle

http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ban_hammer/
"An MCP module that bans and rids profile data of the usernames entered in the box. You may also use this to remove all their topics, replies, attachment, and PMs they sent. This module aids the moderation team in cleaning spam bot accounts and the trouble they left behind on your forums. "

"Adds a hidden field escaped with JavaScript to prevent non-JavaScript browsers from registering. Also adds an option for legitimate users without JavaScript on to register for your forum. "

phpBB Version(s) 3.0.8

phpBB Version(s) 3.0.5

http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/j ... _anti_bot/

phpBB Version(s) 3.0.5

None of which are we.

Oops haha

Which one are we on, 2.xx I'm guessing?

[Danteneon]

Yep yep. V2, not sure what level.

Spam control is one of the many things that we can implement with the switch over to 3. We just aren't there yet.

Why don't we upgrade to 3.0? Something to do with the garage? I know the one we use wont work on 3.0, but there is another developer working with the base one.

I have it running on a forum right now, works pretty well except the fact that it's sql injectable:
